The procession of the Walk of the Cross begins down 52 Ave. April 19. The participants take turns carrying the rough wooden cross, in memorial of the walk Jesus Christ made carrying his cross to Calvary, and of Simon of Cyrene, who carried it for him when he stumbled. The walk made 14 stops as it went around Ponoka. Photo by Emily Jaycox
